On a different subject, if I have my own RealD 3-D glasses, could I use those to watch a 3-D movie & if so, would it be better?

Nope, considering the technology used for the home video is the red and blue old-fashioned 3-D.

Basically what were getting thrown at here are some fancy ass postcards and a "limited" (the magic word for gimmicks, even though its not really Limited) book. Oh Universal you can suck it! Instead of this double dip madness give us Atonement, Eternal Sunshine and a bunch of other HD DVD exclusive titles that up to this point we've so longed for.

Is there any reason to buy DVDs on the week of their release anymore? Just wait six months (which is how long it used to take for a <i>quick</i> DVD release), and there will likely be news of a special edition. Rediculous.

I concur. At least the Watchmen: Ultimate Cut actually has exclusive content that are worth the $35. I bet this box set will be priced near the same amount and what, it just has postcards and a booklet? Really? No alternate cut or more exclusive footage? Everything you need is the Blu-ray combo pack and it's only $20 on Amazon, I believe.

I'm very happy with the Bluray I purchased already. Loved the film, I felt it really harkened back to classic childrens movies that were probably a little too scary for them, ala Gremlins. Monster House was another recent animated film which I enjoyed for the same reason.

Coraline had some great vocal performances aswell, Dakota Fanning and particularly I thought Teri Hatcher was great.

It looks like a neat little set, but I'm not going to shell out another cent of mine towards this film. I'm content with my Blu-ray combo pack and only got it for $19 on Amazon brand new when it came out. If they offered something like more bonus material or an alternate cut of the film, then we're talking. Otherwise, this is just a scheme to squeeze the last paycheck out of customers.
